L86 L8W

The L86 is a LSW (Light Support Weapon) used by the British Armed Forces. It has been featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It is available when the player first starts multiplayer. It kills in 2-3 shots (depending on stopping power) in standard multiplayer game types and 1 in hardcore games. It is quite accurate for a machine gun but only if short, controlled bursts are used. It has a high range, and could even be used as an automatic Sniper Rifle, if the Bling perk is used to attach a Thermal Scope and Grip. When the ACOG Scope attachment is equipped, it takes the appearance of the British SUSAT sight which is standard on all L85 and L86 rifles. On the level 'Loose Ends' several L86s can be found next to a window held up by their bipods. All of these weapons have the correct SUSAT scope (it should look like the ACOG scope, but with a needle instead of a crosshair). However the SUSAT sight is given very little magnifaction, in reality it should have x4. The weapon also has a drum magazine, unlike the real one, which uses 30 round STANAG magazines. In reality, the weapon has shown to be a poor light machine gun, but due to its accuracy, it it has found a new use in a marksman role instead.
